Definition

A rare hepatic tumor that may manifest with abdominal pain or fullness, as well as diarrhea or weight loss. More than 10% of cases are asymptomatic and in rare cases a carcinoid syndrome may be observed. The age of onset is variable. The etiology is still unknown but it is thought to arise from Kulchitsky cells originating in the neural crest. [from SNOMEDCT_US]
